Hi all,
I have an error with a specific Firefox installation (not this one I'm using right now) where Firefox never asks whether to save logins and passwords for any site. I have tried ones that work on other Firefox installations. I have tried with safe mode and checked whether Firefox's settings are configured to save logins and that there are no exceptions. Firefox is also not in private mode nor in "always use private mode" settings. History in the settings is set up to "remember history", the default. I tried on the same installation with a different user profile, which sorts out the problem. I've also found out that there are saved logins without passwords, so on some sites I will get autocomplete suggestions for a username but when I choose that, no password is entered. The version is Firefox 53. I already asked the question here, but somehow this page has vanished :( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/t5/Firefox/Firefox-doesn-t-ask-to-save-passwords-for-a-specific-user/m-p/1389247/highlight/false#M1046458
I have found this question where users had similar problems, but none of this solved my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/944475
I did rename the key3.db file to OLDkey3.db and the logins.json to OLDlogins.json. Didn't seem to change anything, I even still get suggest the usernames that will result in no password input. As this is a newer version of Firefox, no signons.sqlite file is in the profile folder. I tried an addon that saves logins however trying to do that resulted in an error.
My only hunch for an explanation is that there is or was a bug that messes up the files where logins and passwords are saved when Firefox sync is enabled. Because sync was used on the 2 installations that have this problem, but I've never come across this as I don't use sync. Sync has been disabled now, no change. Also I remember setting up a fresh install and it did ask for passwords, however after setting up sync it didn't work anymore.
Thanks in adance.

Just one particular site crashes Firefox with the dialogue:
"Firefox had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately the Crash Reporter is unable to submit a crash report. Details: the application did not leave a crash dump file"
I try to follow the Firefox problem solver: I try 'Refresh Firefox' - I get the same dialogue I try 'Safe Mode' - I get the same dialogue
Has the crash reporter gone wrong?
Looking at 'Troubleshooting Information' an obvious problem is shown in the WebGL 2 Driver Renderer section. It says: "WebGL creation failed:
- Error during native OpenGL init.
- Error during native OpenGL init.
- Error during native OpenGL init.
- Error during native OpenGL init.
- Error during native OpenGL init.
- Exhausted GL driver caps.
- Exhausted GL driver options."
I'm no techie, but might this be part of the issue? Any ideas please?

Hi everyone!
Hope someone can help. I'm going insane!
I know my userChrome.css is in the correct place, and Firefox 50 is responding to this
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */
/* Hide bookmark icons in the Personal Toolbar */ toolbarbutton.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon { display: none; }
/* Don't show tab icons */ .tab-icon { display: none !important; }
but for some reason, Firefox 50 is ignoring this:
/* Hide "normal" bookmark icons in the bookmarks menu */ menuitem.bookmark-item > .menu-iconic-left { display: none; }
/* Hide icons for bookmark folders in Bookmarks menu */ menu.bookmark-item > .menu-iconic-left { display: none; }
/* Hide icons for bookmark groups in Bookmarks menu */ menuitem.bookmark-group > .menu-iconic-left { display: none; }
I have tried many times in Safe Mode, switching/creating new Profiles, Refreshing/Restarting Firefox, even using the about:config, but the Favicons still persist in the Bookmark Menu. I suspect perhaps the CSS syntax has changed for the Bookmark Menu/Favicons for Firefox 50? Why else would every command be ignored, every time? Unless I'm am missing something really obvious. I've spent days researching pages from 2005 up to more recent times, nothing newer in terms of syntax. I wouldn't feel a need for this but the Favicons in my Bookmark Menu slow it down so much its unusable. Although I know if I can successfully toggle off the Favicons, the Bookmark Menu will very quickly load as it should.
Your help is much appreciated.

Is there a setting or about:config variable that I can edit to stop it from automatically bookmarking when I press Ctrl-D, or to remap the Ctrl+D key?
The proximity of the D key to the X, C, F and R keys makes it a prime candidate for accidental presses. In fact, it happens mostly when I try to press Ctrl+F because of differences in keyboard layouts between PCs, laptops, etc.
In the past, when I accidentally hit Ctrl+D, I would immediately press Esc to cancel making the bookmark, and this reflex is still strong with me. However, at some point it started adding bookmarks automatically, with the Ctrl+D dialog offering the option "Remove Bookmark" instead of "Cancel". Pressing the ESC key doesn't remove the bookmark.

I have the most updated version of firfox as of June 29
Yesterday I was having some issues browsing certain sites so I cleared only the cache (in the last hour) soon after that I found when I typed a url in the address bar it didn't autofill the rest. Then I realized even after going there several times it doesn't save the history (nothing shows up when you tap the little arrow) Basically I have to type a full url every single time
-In about.config urlbar autocomplete and all related items are set to true -Privacy settings are set to default (I do not browse in incognito mode) -I haven't installed any new add-ons, they all worked fine before clearing cache, which is the only thing I did before I saw the problem -Hardware acceleration is off -No issues with my profile files being corrupted
I've troubleshooted from every angle and still can't figure out why it won't autofill/autocomplete!
Bookmarks are flashing. I've turned off hardware acceleration but the problem remains. Help please.....Thanks.
When I look at a youtube video and then try to use my bookmarks to go to another location the bookmarks flash.

I understand that it's now a requirement of Mozilla to only have Roboform as an extension and not a full length toolbar. Well in that case I wont be using Firefox any longer. The full length Roboform toolbar works fine on Internet Explorer. So unless you bring this feature back I think you will lose a hell of a lot of users!

We have an internal SSRS site that works correctly however when users try to Export (download) a report as pdf/xls etc. a new tab opens which remains blank. This behaviour was similar in v53 however at this point they would be prompted to save/download and the download would proceed. The report runs in a popup (popups are allowed), and starting in v54 when Export is selected the popup closes which causes the new blank tab in the parent window. In previous versions the popup remains open.

I'm using Firefox in Ubuntu Linux. I updated the kernel and some software today, which updated some aspect of Firefox, and now the bookmarks drop-down tab on the toolbar doesn't work. It drops down, but most of my bookmarks are gone. The few that are left are now in the "other bookmarks" folder, but can't be clicked or moved. When I create a new bookmark, it allows me to create and name it, but it doesn't show up. HOWEVER, my bookmarks DO work properly when accessed from the menu bar and when I create a new bookmark, it shows up here.
Is there any way to restore the bookmarks toolbar tab so that it shows the same information, arranged in the same way as the bookmarks in the menu bar? I've already tried resetting Firefox and also changing some file names so that Firefox recreates them.

Hello,
I've been struggling to get Firefox to open uniqe profiles with unique icons in the taskbar. ( using win 8.1 ).
My last approach has been to create copies of the firefox program folder(one that has pre-established profile names created with profile manager) with unique names.
For example : C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox - Profile_A
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox - Profile_B
Then say, from the "Mozilla Firefox - Profile_A" folder I make a shortcut of the firefox.exe file to the desktop.
In that shortcut I go to properties and in target add: -no-remote -p "Profile_A"
I then pin that shortcut to the taskbar and delete the shortcut.
I repeat the same process for "Profile_B"
But say I click on the taskbar icon for Profile_A, everything is fine. No extra icons appear in the taskbar and I can switch back and forth between different icons.
However, if I press the Profile_B icon it creates another additional icon in the taskbar with the standard firefox icon ( not the specific unique one I created for that profile).
It seems, no matter what approach I take I can't get different icons representing the different profiles in the taskbar without additional standard firefox icons populating the taskbar.
The whole purpose of this set up is to be able to switch between profiles in the task bar that are already open.
Can mozilla not code the broswer so that this is possible?

Using FF ESR 52.2.0 (32-bit), I get a message in the left sidebar on the Gmail webmail page: "To use chat, upgrade your browser." Google Chat/Hangouts was working fine a few days ago, and still works perfectly within Gmail webmail in Chrome and IE. I don't want to move to the "mainstream" Firefox, as many of my plug-ins would not be supported- that's why I switched to ESR in the first place.
